This is
Chris' 1979 Ford Bronco Custom. It has a 351M engine, a 3" lift and 33"
tires. The odometer reads a little over 96,000, which at first glance
would seem more like 296,000 miles, but Chris says the Bronco always starts, burns zero oil,
has almost NO RUST, and drove him 8hrs from Wyoming (one way) fighting the strong winds, so
96K could indeed be the original miles.

Chris'
future plans are to repaint it the original green and white tu-tone and find all the missing trim pieces.
He plans on having the outside totally restored by this coming May at the latest, and
the interior done by the end of this coming
winter (the red seats in the pic are from a Dodge Van). He also plans on rebuilding the
original engine and converting it to a 400. Chris just purchased the
Bronco in August of 2000 but has already started the restoration.

--
Nice Bronco Chris! Good to see another Bronco in the hands of someone
who will take care of it and lovingly restore it.

Dave
Feldner's 1978 Bronco Free-Wheeler, Donnybrook, North Dakota

Dave's '78 Bronco Free-Wheeler has a
429 engine with a 4V Edelbrock carb, K&N air filter and a high rise
cam flowing through dual 2 1/4" straight pipe exhaust exiting out
the sides. The Bronco has a 3" body lift, a home-made 3"
suspension lift, dual steering stabilizers, and a posi front axle all
sitting on 35" Mud Terrains on 15x10" American Racing rims.
Other accessories include a light bar with rally racing lights with two
102" CB whip antennas mounted on it and a very rare factory push
bar. Dave drives it every day back and forth to school.

-- Just imagine what
students all over the country could accomplish if they had a stress reliever
like this? (Just make sure that's not the teacher's car you're running
over) :-)

About
3 months ago I took a little personal vacation and paid a visit to some
friends I met through this site who live in the Mississippi Delta region.
One of the people I met was a fellow named Cliff Brumfield who owns the
super low-mileage black '79 Bronco in Showroom #1. We were drooling over
the new 2001 winter edition of the LMC Truck catalog and started talking
about that beautiful black and silver '79 Bronco on the front cover.
Cliff made the remark that it is too nice not to be on "the web
site" in one of the showrooms, to which I replied, "well, if
who ever owns it sends it in, I'll make it Bronco-of-the-month".

Well,
guess what? I'm making good on that promise. Little did we know that as
we were looking at it on the front of the catalog, Chris Reynolds was
busy getting some photos ready to submit it to ProjectBronco. All I can
say is that the LMC truck catalog does not do it justice, it is truly
one of the best 2nd-generation Broncos I've ever seen.

Chris
purchased his Bronco from a friend who bought it new in 1979. The
Bronco was always in good condition, but Chris took the liberty of
rebuilding it with a fresh new look, starting with all new factory
parts. The fenders, doors, tailgate and quarter panels have all been
replaced with factory parts. All of the weather striping has been
replaced as well. The Bronco was repainted with the original black and silver
color and updated with clear coat finish. The seats were switched from the
original bench seat to buckets w/ a center console and then reupholstered
in black cloth. All of the chrome is still original.

The
original 351M has been replaced with a new remanufactured long block and
sports a 650 CFM Holley carb, Weiand intake, Mallory distributor,
Mallory Ignition and a Mallory coil. Toping it all off is a new
radiator, Headman headers, Dynomax mufflers, Pro Comp shocks and
Bridgestone 32x11.50 tires on American Racing rims

Chris'
future plans for his Bronco is to add a new soft top by next year!

--
What a beauty! Folks, now that's TLC. Told ya the catalog didn't' do it
justice :-)

This is Lou's 1979 Bronco. His Bronco
is most stock. It features the original 400 engine and 2V carb, new
heavy-duty front springs, new rear leaf springs, and new 33" mud
tires. Lou plans to give it a new paint job in the near future.

Lou simply says that it is solid and reliable
and simply enjoys driving it.

-- My sentiments
exactly. If you can't enjoy driving it, then what good is it :)

Troy
Tuten's 1979 Bronco Ranger XLT, Jacksonville, Florida

Troy's Bronco features a 351M, C6
automatic, 3.50 gears, a Dana 44 front axle and 9 inch rear axle. Troy
is the second owner of this Bronco and only has 68,000 original miles on
it.

Troy says that this is his 4th second-generation Bronco and
he say's he just loves 'em. He feels the are very versatile trucks/SUVs
and it takes me where ever he wants to go. His Bronco has been retired from aggressive
off-roading so that it can undergo a full restoration and used as a
daily driver.

-- Hey, that's nice.
The interior is in remarkably good shape!

Jamie's
1979 Bronco Ranger XLT, Palatka, Florida

This is Jamie's '79 Bronco that has
been converted into a short bed pickup with a fiberglass bulkhead
insert. Jamie has had it for about 2 years and purchased it from the original owner. It has 265K
original miles on it and it still runs strong. The engine has never been rebuilt and is all stock. It has a 2"
lift in the front and the back is stock height. Future mods are a rear shackle flip and 4" front coils to allow some 35"
boggers.

-- That's
cool. Wouldn't mind one of those myself!

Greg
Coats' 1979 Bronco Ranger XLT, Bellflower, California

Greg's
stunning '79 Bronco is fully loaded and features such amenities as
cruise control, a factory CB, and captains chairs. I has a 4"
suspension lift, 35" BF Goodrich AT/TAs, a
351M W/ Headman headers, 3" single 70 series exhaust system, an Alpine head unit,
two Kicker highs, two 8" Fosgate mids, two Fosgate 12" subwoofers,
and two Sherwood amplifiers 240's. The seats have been
reupholstered with the factory material and it has a custom dash bezel.

--
Ooo that's nice. I love the custom dash bezel! I bet it sounds as good
as it looks too.

Seth
Colson's 1979 Bronco Ranger XLT, Cedar Key, Florida

Seth
recently purchased this war horse for a measly $1,100.00. He says it
runs great and has an early '70s Lincoln 460 engine, a Holley 750 carb,
C6 trans, 4.11 gears front & rear, a 4" suspension lift, and a
set of TSL tires on it.

Seth
admits it may be a little ugly, but says he didn't buy it for looks, but
to keep those "pesky" little SUVs away from him.

--
Hey, works for me. I'd stay out it's way! Any Bronco with a damaged
front end ALWAYS get the right-of-way!
